Read this twice- so you thoroughly understand how residential school survivors; children’s bodies found; MMIWG:2S - are all tied together.

Reflection on today from two of my favourite authors.

I will acknowledge this day by sharing this brief passage from @BillyRayB’s brilliant novel A Minor Chorus

I keep getting asked about what I think reconciliation is. I answer “it’s a small bird caught in a constant torrent of colonizing storms, forever trying to find a small branch of reason on which to weather the conflicting currents of injustice.” Or something like that.

I played Oregon Trail during library computer time & it def ‘normalized’ colonial expansion (benignly called “westward expansion”). What was implicitly being taught?
Great thread for SS teachers who are trying to explore erased histories & problematize a grand narrative.

🧵I started my history teaching career in the early 2000s. When I first taught about the "pioneer trails" (as the textbook called them), students would always bring up the computer game Oregon Trail. Here's what I learned then and how I use it today as a teacher educator. 1/6

@SeanCarleton Or at least within my humanities department.

@SeanCarleton My working group at my school was just starting plans for a DEIJ book club for staff, so I’ll mention this and get back to you! Most likely new school year.

I'm happy to share that today is the release of the paperback edition of my book Lessons in Legitimacy: Colonialism, Capitalism, and the the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia: ubcpress.ca/lessons-in-leg…

PSA: updating the Canadian passport - which happens regularly - does not erase Canadian history. Neither does removing a problematic statue, changing the name of a school or building etc. That’s not how history works.
Sincerely,
An actual Canadian historian.

@SeanCarleton @BCHistoryFed Congratulations! I just got my copy and can’t wait to dig in 🖤

I'm happy to share that I've been selected as a finalist for the Lieutenant Governor’s Historical Writing Awards by the @BCHistoryFed for my book Lessons in Legitimacy. Lots of great writing about British Columbia on this list and I'm grateful to be included.

@chriscmartell @ZinnEdProject I often use photography for source work with my students. I’ll definitely be using Lee’s body of work now and sharing his story. Thanks!

Was today the first time you learned about Corky Lee? If so, check out his bio on @ZinnEdProject. He was responsible for photographing many important Asian American historical events and we should be teaching his story in every U.S. history class. #Corky_Lee" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">zinnedproject.org/materials/asia… #sschat

@chriscmartell @CityOfBoston Vancouver has them too ☺️

Hey @CityOfBoston! Can we get some of these outdoor co-working stations like Montréal has? Especially in places like Dorchester (where I live), Roxbury, Mattapan, and East Boston. Most coffee shops close at 3 in my neighborhood and this would help for meetings with co-workers.

We’re a city that LOVES to be outside. ☀️

Today we remember Harry Belafonte, who introduced Americans to calypso with songs like “Day-O (Banana Boat Song).” A singer with a strong social conscious, he became a civil rights activist and humanitarian early in his career.

@ls_gibson @tomhawthorn Sidebar: Kit came to speak at Brockton once - and he donated his whole library to the our history department! What a kind man.

Anyone who has spent any time in a K-12 school or college would know that it is very hard to indoctrinate students (it is hard enough just to get them to do their school work 😂). A good read on who is really trying to indoctrinate students... thehill.com/opinion/educat…

Excellent post. Attn English/Socials Teachers: some important frameworks to ask as a settler, teaching Indigenous literature, art, politics, and culture.
A helpful phrase I have learned in my journey is “nothing about us without us.”
